摘要

This study aims to construct an optimized distribution schedule for bottled water suppliers. The study introduces the Hybrid Whale Optimization Algorithm (HWA), which integrates three core search mechanisms: migration, priority selection, and prey enrichment, along with opposition-based learning and mutation-crossover methods. Its effectiveness has been validated through evaluations using 23 standard functions and a real-world case study focusing on water distribution in Vietnam. The results show that HWA is a powerful decision support tool that effectively facilitates optimal decision-making processes in water distribution path management.
